pot with lid
fine mesh strainer
- 1 cup wild rice
- 1 3/4 cup chicken stock or water
- 1 tablespoon butter optional
Add rice to a fine mesh strainer and rinse with cold water for 1-2 minutes. Drain completely.
Add rice, stock, and butter to a large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 45 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam for 10 minutes with the lid still on.
Fluff with a fork and serve.
- If rice is not done at the end of the cooking time, add 1-2 more tablespoons of liquid and cook over medium until rice is done.
- If the rice is still wet at the end of the cooking time, heat and cook off any extra liquid.
- You can cook wild rice in the rice cooker with the same liquid ratio, just use the brown rice setting if that is an option on your cooker.
